[spammy37]

Hello my name is sam , im 37. I already have a little girl who is 5 from my prev marriage. My fiance and i have been ttc for 7 months. Hes 42 and im 37. Im finding myaelf getting increasingly upset and frustrated each month, i didnt realise how all consuming this could be!! I dont want to sound ungrateful as i already do have a child but my fiance is desperate to be a dad and i feel i let him down too when its not happening. I had some treatment to my cervix a few years ago so i dont know if thats affecting. I also dont feel i ovulate as regularly. My fiance is convinced he has low sperm so we are a right pair!! We have just taken the plunge and referred ourselves for tests but i have no idea how we'll pay for it all if we need treatment. Its comforting to read all your stories out there. Sam xxxx

 

[Shey]

Welcome Sam. I know it can be difficult to conceive. If you really want one with your fiancé just have some fun with it. Just act like you're not trying and it will happen.
